Becoming Korra Part: 2

Kung Fu is especially hard. It's not like dance either. The Sifu wanted me to run my set with Aurora. I asked Aurora if we could start halfway through, since I don't know the end. She actually told me "No, we have to run it through the beginning and make sure every part is perfect." That's where dance is different. Learn the movement then make each part perfect. I took the opening stance.

I videoed myself performing the set last week. It was really bad, but good see it in film. I looked pretty loose, and full of free flow through the whole set. So I tried to engage all my muscles and channel myself into bound flow, which only was partly successful.

Aurora told me not be so hard on myself. "I'm not being hard on myself. Coming here every week is like an audition. And I'm not getting the movement and I'm not recreating it, the way Sifu does. If this were an audition I would be cut."

Speaking of auditions

Afterwards, I was laying in bed, checking my Facebook, when I saw Michelle's face on the screen.
It felt such a long time ago that Michelle and I were chasing the Disney Dream up and down the Pacific Coast. It was really only a month ago that Michelle and I sat in L.A. traffic believing that today would be the day our lives would change.

I made the mistake of bringing the audition calender up on the screen, because it was then I remembered how just how badly I want to become Alice.

But I think the world needs more people like Korra than Alice. We need people being good, grounded and action driven. Just like Korra.
